   There are many types of dogs. They class them at show as working dogs (ie border collies, German shepards,) sporting dogs(retrievers,hounds) etc, Many dogs are mixed from other breeds. I have a Boston Terrier which was originally bred from a French Bull Dog and and Bull Terrier. They have been bred long enough that they are now their own breed. You can go to websites that explain each breed and their characteristics and look for the one that would fit your needs the most.

   I have a Carin Terrior which I absolutly suggest you stay out of that whole class of Terriors cause thats just what they are. A Terror!

   And I have a beagle and he is the bestest doggie ever. He is very smart, adn they are soft, and their howl is so cute. They have the brains of a lab but are only 1/4 of their size. They are a great family dog and are great with children. Get any dog in the puppy stage it will be worth it in the end!
